Enhancing data views for remote intensive care units

Abstract

A system for enhancing data views for remote intensive care units includes a central computer comprising a memory that stores instructions and a processor that executes the instructions. When executed by the processor, the instructions cause the central computer to: receive, from a first remote intensive care unit, data generated by a first camera at the first remote intensive care unit; determine, from the data generated by the first camera at the first remote intensive care unit, a type of a first medical device within a view of the first camera at the first remote intensive care unit; determine, based on the type of the first medical device, a layout of labels for information displayed by the first medical device; generate labels for information displayed by the first medical device; and supplement video from the first camera with the labels for information displayed by the first medical device.
